Beef chuck is more affordable while still providing rich flavor.

Season oxtails with a seasoning blend, liquid Sasson, Sofrito, garlic, and chopped green onions; toss together.

Cover and refrigerate oxtails for about an hour to marinate (optional).

Slice up some peppers and onions for the stew.

Brown the oxtails in a little aote oil (or olive oil) for a couple of minutes on each side to seal in the spices.

Add excess marinade, red wine, and tomato sauce to the pan; stir to combine.

Add bay leaves, thyme, cilantro, and enough water to cover the oxtails.

Add powdered chicken bullion for salt (or use salt if you don't have it).

Leave a small sliver of the pot open for evaporation while cooking.

Cook for about three hours until oxtails are fall-off-the-bone tender.
